Have you ever seen a pitcher that is locked in throwing a filthy deuce that drops off the table?

A hitter can’t hit it.

If you have command over a curveball, you can flat out dominate. Like I said, it’s not the right pitch for every pitcher, but if it is… IT IS!

Numerous studies have proven that the right pitcher throwing the curveball the right way does no damage to your arm. But….

Quite frankly, I’m sick and tired of Coaches and Dads who call me after their son has developed an arm injury because they (or their instructor) tried to wing it and teach them a curveball before they were ready.

It breaks my heart.

In addition to all the myths around a curveball, there’s a TON of bad instruction around it.

You’ve heard these, right?

• Snap the curveball...
• Don’t snap the curveball.
• Throw a 12-6 curveball! (UGGGGHHH - That is the worst advice.)
• Get on top of it.
• Think 99% fastball and 1% curveball.
• Get your thumb over the top...
• Throw a spiked curveball.
• Throw a safety curve....?!

All terrible instruction!

It’s instruction like this that gets kids hurt!

I recently broadcasted a live webinar for Baseball Education Center customers that goes into exact detail of everything things you need to know to throw a safe curveball.

Here’s what we we covered:

• The Safe Curveball Formula --> Never guess or cross your fingers again. Check off each part of this formula and rest easy knowing that you’ll be throwing a safe curveball that won’t blow out your elbow. 

• Throw It The Right Way --> It’s SOOOOO much easier than you think. Once you clear out all the myths and non-sense instruction, you’ll be amazed at just how simple the pitch is to throw.

• The one thing that must be in place to throw a safe curveball and the truth is you cannot get around this, without this in place every curveball you’re throwing could be hurting your arm and you won’t know it until it’s too late and your elbow flares up.

• The big (and most overlooked) mistake coaches and parents make when they start teaching the curveball. Most think they have this right, but 99% of them have it dead wrong!

• How many curveballs can you safely throw? Even if everything is in place to throw a safe curveball, there is a limit and most coaches fall in love with a pitcher who can throw a curveball and end up hurting pitchers just to win games

• If a curveball is wrong for you, I’ll tell you which pitches you should be throwing instead. Most times those pitches will be much more effective than banging your head against the wall trying to learn a curveball that might end up getting you hurt.
